Find out Cruzeiro’s stance on removing seats from Mineirão | OneFootball

The Government of Minas Gerais has enacted a law that allows the removal of seats in public stadiums, which directly affects Mineirão. Cruzeiro, currently the main user of the stadium, is closely following the discussion, but the final decision will be up to Minas Arena, the venue’s administrator.

According to ge, the possibility under consideration involves only the Lower Yellow section. For the change to move forward, a report from the Fire Department attesting to the safety of the operation will first be required.

The estimated cost for the removal and subsequent reinstallation of the seats — which are scheduled to return for the 2027 Women’s World Cup — is around R$ 900,000.

Cruzeiro is approaching the matter with caution. The club understands that the financial responsibility lies with Minas Arena, due to the current contract, but does not rule out negotiating alternatives to reduce costs.

The celestial team sees positive aspects in the change, especially as it provides space for fans who prefer to watch the games standing, in addition to reducing losses from broken seats.
